https://denzelfernandez.wordpress.com/2015/06/13/psle/#respondSat, 13 Jun 2015 16:33:40 +0000http://denzelfernandez.wordpress.com/?p=10I do admit for PSLE I am falling behind DRASTICALLY.
Like, really. So people go to a million tutions while I go to two. Even if they don’t do 3 practice papers daily and I do, tuition slices RIGHT IN BETWEEN my whole timetable. And when that happens, it is normally a bad thing. My case is no exception. Papers, more papers. I have a whole box full of completed papers that could be better used for sleeping in. One day I shall stop buying toilet paper and use old exam papers instead, bec
ause, yes, exam papers are usable as A4-sized toilet paper.

Now, I may sound like Amos Yee, who disapproves of Education, but I DO ‘like’ education. No, I shouldn’t put it like that. I am ENTHUSIASTIC about education. That sounds better. And to my mom who is endlessly writing checks and invoices for my dad, she had 100% attendance most of the time too, like me. Yet here are my SA1 grades:
English : 89
Chinese : 73.3
Maths : 78 (I hate myself for this)
Science : 81.5 (I feel like burning the paper)

And I study at Temasek Primary School, FYI.
Thanks again for reading, that has been my blog post.

It is 13 June now, and my mom wants me to read through GAT papers. She says it’s similar to GEP. This is what the home page text on http://www.gat.sg says:

The GAT is a standardized assessment of an applicant’s general reasoning ability, and it measures learning capacity, observational skills and problem solving ability. It provides an objective measure that is free from language and cultural bias. All the information needed to respond to each question is presented within the test item itself. Clear instructions will be given to ensure that applicants understand how to attempt the test.

The GAT is an abilities test, and it tells whether a student has strong underlying mental capabilities. This is in contrast to achievement tests which are subject based, and that assess a student’s learned skills and knowledge. Abilities tests and achievement tests complement each other, and shed light on different aspects of a student’s capabilities. When used together, they provide a good overall assessment of the quality of an applicant.

” All the information needed to respond to each question is presented within the test item itself. ”

Does that mean it is easy? I think it’s just reading and understanding the question, absorbing the info. This MAY call for speed reading.

DENZEL’S DICTIONARY
“Speed Reading”
Reading fast. So fast, you don’t even know what language the text is in. Heck, you don’t even know whether it’s text or all the frames from a My Little Pony animation pasted on the paper. THAT’S how fast.

Actually on hindsight it may not be such a good idea.

So I looked at an image of a GAT sample, and I think I would be better off solving the Riddle of the Sphinx.

Bored? Welcome! In my blogs, you can find funny content, not to mention refrences to things near and dear to you. As a P6 (who is 11) and Singaporean, I relate to you all the experiences I go through as a P6 student.
